Whoa, easy everyone, I guess I should have been more clear. I hate Michigan in terms of the lack of “frattiness” and the amazing amount of GDI’s. Of course I’m proud of where I’m from, I love a lot of things about Michigan. Although I do plan to go somewhere in the SEC for law school and make the south my future home.

no offense to your state…since it is 1/50th part of the best fucking country in the world..but the one person i’ve even met from Michigan described it basically as a clip from Jersey Shore…she came to tailgate with us and asked why everyone was dressed so nice and had their shirts tucked in…….

John Quincy Fratams, man up. I’m from the mitten and as much as it’s hell sometimes, it’s home. If you don’t like it, leave. You are the kind of person that we can do without while we try to rebuild this state.
Frat or Die, you have my full respect.

Unless I’m mistaken, that looks like a Norfolk suit. They were popularized after Edward VII, Prince of Wales, was seen hunting in them. If that’s the case, the low pocket actually serves a purpose; from what I can tell, the plaid lines up so it’s not quite as conspicuous as an actual cargo pocket. However, these are full pants, not breeches or “knickerbockers,” which are traditionally worn with the Norfolk jacket. If this is genuinely a hunting outfit, it’s FAF. If it’s just a flannel plaid suit with a side pocket, NF.

@SigBro I’ve done my research.
@blueblood Since the pocket is so flush to the leg and the plaid is so well blended, I wouldn’t consider it a cargo pocket. I’d consider anyone who could pull off a Norfolk, especially in 2010, regardless of continent, FAF.

Oh I agree. I wear Mossy Oak when I hunt. But considering this kind of outfit was originally tailored for British fox hunting and the sort, I still think it’s pretty cool. Definitely a far cry from a cargo pocket, which is why it’s still FAF.

How is a tradition only five years old? Could you explain that to me?
And personally, arguing about what brand of clothing is frat is NF. It doesn’t matter what the brand is, as long as you look damn good in it.
